– Jane Dayus Hinch, host of Wedding SOS
I am so thrilled to have found Andrea! I have had facials in some of the world’s leading spas… in London, Paris, Rome, Milan, Cape Town, Manhattan, Tokyo… pretty much everywhere!
I have always had problems with my skin so I have searched high and low for treatments and products that will work the miracle for which I’ve been desperately longing. I suffer from terribly sensitive skin, as well as blemishes and wrinkles; almost every possible skin-related scourge. Then I met Andrea.
After just one facial, less than a week ago, my skin has cleared up competely, for the first time in years. The redness is gone, leaving my skin with a healthy glow. Most of the wrinkles around my eyes have disappeared and the deep furrow between my eyebrows has diminished to the point where it is barely noticeable. To complement the facial, I’ve been using four of Andrea’s amazing skin care products. Not only have they worked wonders on my skin, they make me feel soothed, centred, and uplifted every time I use them. I am in love!
My quest is over. Andrea has herself yet another customer for life! Oh, yes, and besides working wonders with skin, Andrea has to be one of the sweetest, kindest, most caring individuals you will ever meet. I only wish I could visit her lovely spa every day! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Andrea. You are truly amazing!

“There are many Ayurvedic practitioners these days, but a rare few excel in both the physical AND spiritual applications of India’s sacred healing tradition. Andrea is one of those few whose expertise in the theory AND practice of Ayurvedic makes her my go-to recommendation for anyone seeking Ayurvedic treatments in Canada. Whether you’re looking for massage, beauty, lifestyle, spiritual healing- you name it- she has mastered it. You could go to five different therapists… or see Andrea and get all this and more. It’s a no-brainer .”

Yesterday I was blessed to be given an Abhyanga Massage by this incredible woman, Andrea Olivera, who I have been following for years and years. I cannot speak highly enough about her, her knowledge, her astounding insight, and the care with which she treated me in her beautiful space with her phenomenal products. I wanted to never leave. I wanted to buy everything. I will be back for more, time and again. If you’re looking for Ayurvedic treatments or training or for Vedic Astrology, go!
Andrea Olivera, an Ayurveda entrepreneur, founder of Ayurveda spa, was most dedicated and probably the first person to practise Ayurveda here in Canada, whom I’ve known for more than two decades personally and professionally. She is a genuine soul who just does not preach but practise Vedic rituals in her daily life. She has been instrumental to many practising Ayurveda in Canada including myself. I’ve had many opportunities to work with her, and I am an ardent admirer of her work. She is a true healer and brings the best of both worlds to promote healing at a deeper level through Ayurvedic body work.
I have fond memories from 2002 when she organized the first Ayurveda expo in Toronto to gather a yoga community, uniting the three sister sciences Ayurveda, Yoga and Jyotish.
Over the years, she continueds to introduce the study of Ayurveda, and Jyotish, imparting the Vedic knowledge by inviting many learned scholars and Vaidyas, including myself, to teach at her spa, providing a comfortable sacred place with selfless services.
She has been a most important key player in the growth of Ayurveda in Canada with various roles.
I wish her the best and pray almighty to give her strength to continue her services to the ailing humanity to be instrumental as a holistic healer.
